Abstract

A method for producing a protection system for diapers or sanitary napkins, whereby the skin-contacting surfaces thereof are effectively kept completely dry. The two important novel features of the system reside, first, in providing two parts (4, 5) with a polyethylene film base portion (6), over which are provided a thin absorbent layer (8) and an non-allergenic nonwoven layer (7). The parts are identical in shape to the storage regions (1, 3) of the diapers and napkins to be provided with this system, and to which they will be adhered at their edges, so as to leave free the miction region (2). The film base portions of the two parts prevent the liquid stored in the storage regions from migrating back towards the skin-contacting surfaces. The second novel feature resides in providing, by extending the polyethylene film, protective wings (fig. 4) on the transversal edges of the two parts bounding the miction region. The security wings are produced by twice folding (6.1, 6.2) said film and prevent wetting of portions to be protected and contacting the flow region. The method of the invention is particularly useful for preventing skin damage to incontinent people, babies and children and menstruating women.

Description

SYSTE E PROTECTION TOTALE POUR COUCHES, SERVIETTES PERIODIQUES TOTAL PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR LAYERS, PERIODIC TOWELS
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un système de protection totale applicable à toutes sortes de couches pour adultes incontinents, bébés ou enfants et serviettes périodiques. Les systèmes de fabrication actuels, basés sur la superposition de couches absorbantes, recouvertes d'un voile de non tissé anallergique reposant sur un film de polyethylene préformé, présentent un inconvénient majeur.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a total protection system applicable to all kinds of diapers for incontinent adults, babies or children and period towels. Current manufacturing systems, based on the superimposition of absorbent layers, covered with a hypoallergenic nonwoven veil resting on a preformed polyethylene film, have a major drawback.
En réalité, malgré de bonnes techniques de fabrication et l'emploi de matériaux performants, ces couches ou serviettes ne peuvent, en aucun cas, empêcher totalement la remontée d'une partie du liquide absorbé, vers les parties en contact avec la peau, avec comme conséquences, rougeurs, érythèmes fessiers et, dans le cas de grabataires alités, la favorisation de formations d'escarres.In reality, despite good manufacturing techniques and the use of high-performance materials, these layers or towels cannot, in any case, completely prevent the ascent of part of the absorbed liquid, towards the parts in contact with the skin, with as consequences, redness, diaper rash and, in the case of bedridden bedridden, the promotion of bedsores.
Ce procédé, selon l'invention, permet d'apporter un remède à ces inconvénients en laissant réellement et totalement sèches les parties de la couche ou de la serviette périodique en contact avec la peau.This method, according to the invention, makes it possible to provide a remedy for these drawbacks by leaving the parts of the diaper or of the periodic towel really and completely dry in contact with the skin.
Ce procédé, simple d'application, permet en outre aux fabricants de pouvoir conserver les formats et matériaux choisis pour la réalisation de leurs modèles.This simple process also allows manufacturers to keep the formats and materials chosen for the production of their models.
Ce système repose sur deux innovations importantes :This system is based on two important innovations:
La 1ère : Création de deux pièces ayant comme base un film en polyethylene (6) ou tous autres matériaux ayant les mêmes caractéristiques de flexibilité et d'impénétrabilité que le polyethylene, surmontées d'une mince épaisseur absorbante (8) et d'un non tissé anallergique (7) Ces pièces auront la même forme que les zones de stockage des couches et serviettes auquelles on veut appliquer ce système et sur lesquelles elles seront collées dans leurs contours, laissant libre la zone de miction. Les fims servant de base à ces deux pièces empêcheront le liquide accumulé dans les zones de stockage de remonter aux surfaces en contact avec la peau.The 1st: Creation of two pieces based on a polyethylene film (6) or any other material having the same characteristics of flexibility and impenetrability as polyethylene, surmounted by a thin absorbent thickness (8) and a non hypoallergenic woven (7) These pieces will have the same shape as the storage areas for diapers and towels to which we want to apply this system and on which they will be glued in their contours, leaving the voiding area free. The films used as the basis for these two parts will prevent the liquid accumulated in the storage areas from going up to the surfaces in contact with the skin.
La 2ème : Création, par le prolongement du film en polyethylene, d'ailerons de protection sur les bords transversaux de ces deux pièces limitant la zone de miction. Ces ailerons de sécurité obtenus par double pliage de ce film empêcheront l'humidification des parties à préserver qui se trouvent en contact avec la zone d'écoulement.The 2nd: Creation, by the extension of the polyethylene film, of protective fins on the transverse edges of these two parts limiting the area of urination. These safety fins obtained by double folding of this film will prevent the humidification of the parts to be preserved which are in contact with the flow zone.
Le choix des matériaux absorbants, les épaisseurs des différentes parties, restent à l'appréciation du fabriquant, selon les modèles et l'usage auquel ils sont destinés.The choice of absorbent materials, the thicknesses of the different parts, remain at the discretion of the manufacturer, depending on the models and the use for which they are intended.
Prenons l'exemple d'une couche anatomique nuit, déjà existante :Take the example of an already existing anatomical night layer:
Appelons 1, la partie avant (zone périphérique de stockage), Appelons 2, la partie centrale (zone de miction),Call 1, the front part (peripheral storage area), Call 2, the central part (urination area),
Appelons 3, la partie postérieure (zone périphérique de stockage)Let's call 3, the posterior part (peripheral storage area)
Libérons du voile non tissé de protection anallergique les bords des parties 1 et 3. La figure n°l représente la couche vue de face délimitant les parties 1, 2 et 3. Créons maintenant deux pièces du même format que les zones de stockage de la couche ou serviette à laquelle on veut appliquer ce système, pièces que nous appellerons 4 et 5. Ces pièces seront constituées d'un film en polyethylene - Figure n° 4 (6) - et d'une mince couche absorbante - Figure n° 4 (8) -. Sur ces pièces retournons et collons sur environ 2 centimètres le film en polyethylene tout le long de la coupe en largeur - Figure n°4 (6') -.Let’s free the non-woven hypo-protective veil from the edges of parts 1 and 3. Figure 1 shows the layer seen from the front delimiting parts 1, 2 and 3. Now create two pieces of the same format as the storage areas of the layer or towel to which we want to apply this system, pieces that we will call 4 and 5. These pieces will be made of a polyethylene film - Figure n ° 4 (6 ) - and a thin absorbent layer - Figure n ° 4 (8) -. On these pieces we turn over and glue on about 2 centimeters the polyethylene film all along the width cut - Figure n ° 4 (6 ') -.
La figure n°2 représente les parties 4 et 5 vues de face.Figure 2 shows parts 4 and 5 viewed from the front.
Plions à nouveau, sans le coller, en sens mverse, le film en polyethylene de façon à recouvrir exactement la partie collée - Figure n°4 (6") -. Recouvrons d'un voile non tassé anallergique 4 et 5, y compris le repli du film en polyethylene non collé - Figure n°4 (7) - et applatissons les bords des ailerons de protection de telle sorte que, une fois assemblés aux parties 1 et 3 , ces bords puissent descendre en pente douce sur la partie n°2Fold again, without gluing it, in the opposite direction, the polyethylene film so as to exactly cover the glued part - Figure n ° 4 (6 ") -. folding of the polyethylene film not glued - Figure n ° 4 (7) - and flatten the edges of the protective fins so that, once assembled to parts 1 and 3, these edges can descend in a gentle slope on part n 2
La figure n°3, représente les pièces 4 et 5 en coupe A-A. La figure n°4, représente le détail des ailerons en coupe.Figure 3 shows parts 4 and 5 in section A-A. Figure 4 shows the detail of the fins in section.
Collons maintenant sur les contours y compris les coupes transversales au bord de la zone de miction que nous avons appelé n°2, la partie 4 sur la partie 1 de la première couche et la partie 5 sur la partie 3.Now glue on the contours including the cross sections at the edge of the voiding area that we have called n ° 2, part 4 on part 1 of the first layer and part 5 on part 3.
La figure n° 5, représente l'assemblage des parties 4 et 5 sur 1 et 3. La figure n° 6, représente l'assemblage des différentes parties vu en coupe B-B.Figure n ° 5 represents the assembly of parts 4 and 5 on 1 and 3. Figure n ° 6 represents the assembly of the different parts seen in section B-B.
Nous avons ainsi obtenu la pièce définitive, et nous pouvons constater que le liquide qui s'écoulera dans la partie 2 se répandra dans les parties 1 et 3 et le film en polyethylene, formant la base des pièces 4 et 5 empêchera la remontée du liquide aux couches en contact avec la peau Par l'assemblage des différentes parties, nous avons obtenu aux bords des pièces 4 et 5, des ailerons de protection. En réalité nous avons obtenu par collage du 1er pli du film en polyethylene et le 2ème pliage, qui se trouvera par l'assemblage des différentes pièces, collé uniquement sur les bords, une cavité dans laquelle le liquide non encore absorbé par la partie 2, pourra se répandre sans jamais pouvoir humidifier les parties 4 et 5. De ce fait, les pièces en contact avec la peau resteront réellement et totalement sèches.We have thus obtained the final part, and we can see that the liquid which will flow in part 2 will spread in parts 1 and 3 and the polyethylene film, forming the base of parts 4 and 5 will prevent the ascent of the liquid. layers in contact with the skin By assembling the different parts, we obtained protective fins at the edges of parts 4 and 5. In reality we obtained by gluing the 1st fold of the polyethylene film and the 2nd folding, which will be found by the assembly of the different parts, glued only on the edges, a cavity in which the liquid not yet absorbed by part 2, may spread without ever being able to moisten parts 4 and 5. As a result, the parts in contact with the skin will remain truly and completely dry.
Zone de miction : Ayant ainsi obtenu une étanchéïté totale des parties 4 et 5, nous concentrerons toute notre attention à la fabrication de cette partie 2.Voiding area: Having thus obtained a total seal of parts 4 and 5, we will concentrate all our attention on the manufacture of this part 2.
- Pour favoπser une évacuation rapide du liquide de l'espace 2 vers les espaces 1 et 3 et pour éviter sa remontée, nous préconisons deux possibilités ou l'association des deux. La 1ère possibilité : Placement dans l'espace 2 d'une première couche à haute densité, débordant sur les parties 1 et 3, pressée et percée coniquement uniquement dans la zone de miction.- To favor rapid evacuation of the liquid from space 2 to spaces 1 and 3 and to avoid its rise, we recommend two possibilities or the combination of the two. The 1st possibility: Placement in space 2 of a first high density layer, overflowing on parts 1 and 3, pressed and pierced conically only in the area of urination.
La 2ème possibilité : Impression de sillons sur la zone 2, dans le sens de la longueur de la couche sur la totalité de la partie absorbante pour favoπser une plus rapide évacuation du liquide vers les zones de stockage 1 et 3. - Placer deux barrières verticales de voile non tissé impénétrable de part et d'autre de la couche absorbante, en zone 2, débordant dans les zones de stockage pour éviter tout risque de fuite latérale. Ces aménagements ne sont pas représentés sur nos planches car ils restent à l'appréciation des fabriquants et nous ne formulons pas de revendication en ce qui les concerne..The 2nd possibility: Printing of grooves in zone 2, in the direction of the length of the layer over the entire absorbent part to favor faster evacuation of the liquid towards storage zones 1 and 3. - Place two vertical barriers of impenetrable non-woven fleece on either side of the absorbent layer, in zone 2, overflowing into the storage areas to avoid any risk of lateral leakage. These arrangements are not shown on our boards because they remain at the discretion of the manufacturers and we do not make any claim as regards them.
Couches Nuit : Pour les sujets grabataires alités, reposant sur le dos, la seule protection postérieure peut s'avérer suffisante.Night Diapers: For bedridden bedridden subjects lying on their backs, the only posterior protection may be sufficient.
Espace d'Ecoulement entre les deux pièces de protection : Cet espace pourra prendre une forme carrée, rectangulaire, oblongue ou ovale. Cette solution s'est avérée aux essais d'un prix de revient plus élevé et moins fiable. En réalité, un mauvais placement initial ou un déplacement dû aux mouvements pourraient faire se répandre le liquide sur les pièces de protection. Flow space between the two protective parts: This space can take a square, rectangular, oblong or oval shape. This solution proved to be the tests of a higher and less reliable cost price. In reality, an incorrect initial placement or displacement due to movements could cause the liquid to spread over the protective parts.
